Review summary

The Anthem of the Seas is a beautiful ship and the staterooms were great with tons of storage. The crew was amazing as they always are with Royal Caribbean and the excursions we participated in were fantastic! Especially the swim with dolphins excursion in philipsburg st martaan. The only negatives I have that keep me from giving this ship/trip 5 stars is the food at the specialty restaurant Wonderland was absolutely awful, their "new age" style of cooking and flavoring was horrid and almost made me sick. Great concept but horrible execution. As for the main dining hall food, we were also underwhelmed compared to previous cruises. The staff was great but the food has definitely slipped in quality. Lastly I would have to say because of the number of passengers the ship carries, finding a chair to lay out by any of the pools was an everyday challenge no matter what time you went out to find one. Too many people, not enough chairs.

Good size and lots of storage. Stateroom attendent only made 3 towel animals on the 12 nights cruise, sort of disappointing.

Ship tip

Book your shows ahead of time and your dining as well if possible. Guest services line was hours long for the first couple of days all day long.
